Carpool Lines Long? Yes! How Can You Help?
- Consider using the bus. You may start immediately without any additional action.
- Encourage your student to load in the entire loading zone, not just the first 4 cars.
If you you carpool at South Trimble:
- Wait in line pulled over to the side of the road.
- Do Not block the round-abouts on South Trimble while waiting in line.
- Do Not block driveways or side streets on South Trimble while waiting in line.
- Use either carpool line - the 2nd forming from the access road at the back of school.
